Monash University PhD Scholarship

This scholarship opportunity is part of a prestigious PhD research project at Monash University, focused on understanding sleep disturbance in clients seeking treatment for alcohol use disorder.

The successful candidate will be part of a multidisciplinary cohort of researchers and students based at Turning Point, Australia's leading national addiction treatment, training and research centre, based in Melbourne. The principal supervisors will be Professor Dan Lubman AM, Professor Victoria Manning, Associate Professor Shalini Arunogiri and Dr Rowan Ogeil.

The PhD project will involve collection and analysis of both subjective and objective measures of sleep with outcomes helping to delineate the role and impact that comorbid sleep disturbances have on the course and progression of recovery from AUD. This research has the potential to contribute significantly to the field of addiction studies and improve treatment outcomes for individuals struggling with AUD.
